Ingredients

• For the Pie Crust:
• - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• - ½ teaspoon salt
• - ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• - 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the Brownie Fudge Filling:
• - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• - ½ cup unsalted butter
• - 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• - 3 large eggs
• - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• - ½ cup all-purpose flour
• - ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• - ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation Method

Start by making the pie crust. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle ice water over the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.

While the dough is chilling, we can start on the brownie fudge filling. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Let this mixture cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid cooking the eggs. Once combined, fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Keep folding until no dry streaks remain, but avoid over-mixing.

Now back to our pie crust. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges, and crimp as desired. Pour the brownie fudge filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips and Conclusion

To make this dessert even more irresistible, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of the cold ice cream or cream with the warm, gooey pie is truly divine. If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
